Our three Rotts visit a pretty German girl.

We had a break in the weather the other day and it was warm enough to go for a walk down to the back of our property. The ground was still pretty soggy from all the rain but we managed to find dry spots to walk on. My neighbor who lives on the street behind us owns two German Shepherds named Rommel and Maggie. They have visited us many times and our guys all enjoy playing with them. Maggie spotted us when we got near the back and came running over to see her old friends.

And typical of the saying, dogs will be dogs, Maggie was thoroughly checked out by everyone, Ruff, Axl and our girl Sassy.

We then walked Maggie back to her house but of course the four dogs all ran ahead and got there a few minutes before we did. In the past when our Rottweilers escorted Maggie or Rommel back home they all usually invited themselves inside. The first time they did this the only one home was my neighbor's wife, who had never met our Rottweilers before. By the time my wife and I had reached the open garage where the dogs had gone, they were all inside the woman's kitchen and she was very amused over the crowd her dogs had brought home with them. This time, my neighbor realized that if the Rottweilers had come for a visit then we must be close behind so he came out to see us and we had a nice visit.

About Me

Having worked in the airline business for 40 years for two major airlines I retired over 15 years ago to my dream home in rural Kentucky. My life was changed in 2017 when Jacqueline, my wife of 56 years, passed away. Now I spend all my time enjoying the remainder of my retirement with my last two Rottweilers, Bess and Ruff. This blog is not about me, it is about the Rottweilers who stole my heart and have filled my life with their love. I plan to update this blog with future posts of our adventures but will begin, as all good stories do, at the beginning. The story began in 1995. You can follow it in the Blog Archive on the left with some of the pages I saved from my original web site.
